Chapter 474: The Mysterious Sheepskin Map

?

After careful inspection, Fang Yuan did not find any traps.

He slowly approached the mummy. When he was only five or six steps away from the mummy, a sudden change occurred.

Fang Yuan couldn't help but curse in his stomach, because he once again lost control of the young Thieving Sky and became a bystander again.

Young Diantian murmured: "This man was trapped at the bottom of the well. Could it be that he was surrounded by those wild beasts and couldn't escape?"

Then, he came to the mummy and observed a moment of silence before starting to search for the corpse.

Nothing unexpected happened next. The mummy was ordinary and there were no traps.

During the process of searching the corpse, young Thief Tian discovered that the mummy should have been a Gu master during his lifetime, with a high number of turns and a noble status.

He didn't have any Gu insects left behind, but the lining of the clothes he wore had a sheepskin map sewn into it.

The young Thieving Sky gained nothing except this sheepskin map.

In this underground cavity, the light was quite dim, and young Diaotian could only see blurry lines on the map, which were not clear.

He put the map in his arms and searched the surroundings carefully, but found nothing else.

However, young Thief Tian was already very satisfied.

Because here is the most precious water source in the desert.

He was careful. He checked the water quality first, and after finding that there was no problem, he took a cautious sip.

This water comes from deep underground. It seems that the mummy spent a lot of effort to dig it out before it was alive.

The young Diantian took a sip of water and suddenly felt a cold refreshing feeling. The smell of blood that was originally filled in his mouth after drinking blood became much lighter.

The young Thief's Adam's apple rolled, and this mouthful of water aroused a strong impulse in his heart. Then he leaned over and buried his face in the hidden spring.

Gudong, gudong, and after several big sips, he suddenly raised his head, water droplets flying everywhere.

Sitting on the ground, the young man Diaotian said nothing. He put his hands on the ground, raised his head and closed his eyes. After a while, he let out a long sigh of contentment.

After resting for a while, he stretched out his hand, wiped the water stains on his face, stood up, and returned to the bottom of the dry well.

Young Piantian shivered immediately. The bottom of the dry well was much colder than the underground hollow.

But young Thief Tian had a reason to come here.

He looked up at the mouth of the well. Although he had covered it with several layers of animal skins, the night wind was so strong that most of the animal skins had blown away, revealing a huge hole.

From the entrance of the cave, young Diantian saw the stars hanging high in the sky in the dark night.

He sighed, took out some animal skins and chopped wood from his body, and quickly built the prototype of a bonfire. Then he made a fire out of wood, and after working as hard as a cup of tea, he successfully lit the bonfire.

The smoke from the fire was not big and drifted away along the mouth of the well. The warmth brought by the fire gradually drove away the coldness on young Diaotian's body.

Young Thief Tian first roasted a few pieces of animal meat. After it was cooked, he swallowed it.

The feeling of fullness after eating cooked food made him drowsy.

But young Diaotian resisted his sleepiness and took the sheepskin map he just got into his hand to look at it under the faint light of the fire.

"The history of this sheepskin map seems to be a long time ago."

"Huh? Isn't the place it focuses on the little oasis where my tribe lives?"

Young Diantian was surprised.

On this sheepskin map, the small oasis is highlighted, and there are a few lines of text about the Western Desert next to it.

The text is quite small, and it seems that most of it has been blurred due to age. Only a few words at the beginning are left, which are intermittent and clear.

Young Thief Tian barely recognized it and read out loud with difficulty: "The place where immortals are buried...unknown...cursed..."

"Weird!" After pondering for a long time,

He didn't even think about any more clues, and his brows could not help but tighten.

"I have been in this world for more than ten years, and I have heard stories about immortals from the elders in my clan. But these are just legends. Are there really immortals in the world?"

"This does not seem impossible. If you look at the Gu Master, you will know that this world is wonderful and weird enough, and anything is possible."

"The place where immortals are buried...could it be said that an immortal is buried in the home where I live?"

"But why is there a curse again? Why is it unknown?"

"And this sheepskin map is also very weird. In this world, there are channel Gu insects that can record maps and store information. The mummy should have been a powerful Gu master when he was alive. Why didn't he use Gu insects to record this map? How about using this sheepskin map?"

"He sewed this sheepskin map into the lining of his clothes. If the clothes hadn't been rotten and tattered, I wouldn't have discovered it easily."

"Collecting it so solemnly, this sheepskin map should be very important. But this is too unsafe, and it is far less safe than recording the map in a channel Gu."

Young Diantian murmured, his eyes constantly flashing with thought.

Fang Yuan was always watching, and the doubts of young Thief Tian had already occurred to him. These were all doubtful points, especially the existence of the sheepskin map.

"Ignore this for now. This sheepskin map also marks the location of this dry well. I can return to the tribe by following the directions on this map."

Although the young Diaotian has no sense of belonging to this tribe at all, he also understands that it is completely impossible to live alone in this vast desert.

Not to mention the dangers lurking in the desert, no one knows when a life-and-death threat will suddenly strike. Speaking of food alone, the food in the hands of young Thieves is limited.

The foundation of this small oasis is too weak.

His eyelids were as heavy as mountains, and young Diaotian's vision quickly blurred, and he soon fell into a deep sleep.

He was really tired, not only physically exhausted, but mentally also suffering from ups and downs.

As soon as he fell asleep, Fang Yuan's vision became dark.

In this darkness, Fang Yuan felt that the power of dream dissolution had obviously increased several times, and his soul began to dissolve rapidly again.

Fortunately, Fang Yuan had already experienced the previous time, and now he endured it silently, patiently waiting for the darkness to disappear.

It is difficult to estimate the duration of the dream. After the darkness dissipated, Fang Yuan's soul content was reduced by half!

His vision became clear again, and Fang Yuan was surprised to find that young Thief Tian was tied up by Wu Hua Da, and fell at the bottom of the dry well.

In front of him stood an old Gu Master with a gloomy expression.

This old Gu Master has a wrinkled face and white hair. He is already very old. But at this moment, he is holding that weird sheepskin map in his skinny hand.

He kept stroking the sheepskin map with his hands, his eyes showing complex emotions such as fanaticism, affection, greed and so on.

This look made young Diaotian's scalp tingle, and he felt like he had encountered a pervert.

"Who are you? Why did you kidnap me?" asked young Diantian.

He felt aggrieved, being tied up and made a prisoner when he woke up.

"You should be lucky that I, Sha Xiao, didn't kill you. You are still alive." The old man said, his voice was quite hoarse and unpleasant.

He carefully put the sheepskin map into his arms and cast his eyes on young Diaotian: "Boy, are you from the Yida tribe?"

Young Diantian didn't say a word.

Because he understood a truth in an instant, the old Gu master must know the value and secret of this sheepskin map. The reason why he did not kill himself but tied himself up was probably because he wanted to use him.

When the old Gu Master saw that young Diaotian didn't respond, his face suddenly became darker. He took a few steps forward lightly, and stood silently in front of young Diaotian like a ghost.

"Boy, don't think that if you don't speak, I won't know what's going on in your stomach. Hey, you probably haven't heard of my name, Sha Xiao. Now let me give you a little taste of my power."

The old Gu Master smiled sinisterly, suddenly raised his toes and kicked hard.

The tip of his toe hit young Diaotian's heart, and for a moment, the severe pain almost made him lose his breath.

The young Diantian was easily kicked away as if he was a broken sack, and immediately hit the wall of the well, falling to the ground with a thud.

But the suffering had just begun, and young Diaotian began to scream.

Because the old Gu Master's kick was not simple, young Diao Tian felt that the skin all over his body was sore and numb. At the same time, his muscles and internal organs seemed to be suffering from thousands of ice needles, which were constantly prickling.

The severe pain was quite unbearable for young Diaotian. Soon he was crying in pain, and his body curled up like a lobster.

"Boy, you know how powerful I am." The old Gu Master smiled gloomily.

His heart was filled with joy.

Listening to the young Thieving Sky's miserable howl, he felt a wonderful sense of satisfaction.
